NOTE

Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example), which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less dis-
tance to stop under these conditions
because the tires will build up a wedge
of surface layer when the wheels skid.

WARNING

ABS:
The ABS cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, exces-
sive speed, tailgating (following
another vehicle too closely), and
hydroplaning (reduced tire friction
and road contact because of water
on the road surface). You can still
have an accident. So don’t rely on
ABS as a substitute for safe driving.

WARNING

Antilock Brake System Light:
If the amber antilock brake system
warning light remains on or comes
on while driving, a fault has been
detected in the antilock brake sys-
tem, and the antilock system has
been disabled. Have the braking
system checked by a qualified ser-
vice technician as soon as possible.
